1 라크네스 호스텔

A bit strange, slightly surreal in a David Lynch , non good way. It is unattended check in, you walk in off the street and find a key. The kitchen smells of a thousand fried things that are still in the extractor fan. The room ought to be ok but every thing is slightly broken, the linen slightly stained and the floor slightly grubby. The fire alarm beeped incessantly from 8-11 pm when the back up batteries went flat after the guy they called out to fix had turned it off. The threat of a fiery death was at least better than the beeping. Cheap but still poor value. Cracking bistro/cafe over the road and handy for the Loch

My family and I recently spent two nights here. The only positive was the location. There is a great coffee/breakfast spot next door and the restaurant across the street was delish! The accommodations, though, were pitiful! It’s very obvious that very little is done to maintain the facilities and our room (and the one next to ours) had no hot water. We discussed this with someone familiar with the place and were told that the owner was aware of the problem but had not yet addressed it. This was so upsetting. We have 3 young children and they could not tolerate cold water. This place could be so nice but we felt as if the owner is aware of the advantage of their location so do not care about costumer service.

The first room I thought was ok? Out the back yard on its own in the corner. Unfortunately I sat in the bed and it was like sitting in a bed frame made of jelly. Couldn’t sleep on that. It would collapse it was so badly held together. Also the flooring was moving everywhere as the wooden floor boards were not joined. Moved me across the yard to a family one. Slightly bigger and a small porch out front. Got inside to see a single chair with all the padding given up on life a long time ago. The tv which in my booking confirmation email was part of the package in the room as a “ 17-inch LCD TV with digital channels and pay movies”. Yea, nothing! HDMI lead hanging loose on the wall with nothing to plug it into. Don’t say plug into the tv as a cable has to start from somewhere to send signal to a tv. A small chest of drawers with all the drawers different sizes. I have stayed at a few hostels in my time and several on this trip and though hostels are basic, come in. If you send someone a confirmation saying the room your staying in and which facilities it has in it then supply that.

we returned for a weekend at the Hostel. Lovely facilities, very clean and warm and friendly. highly recommend to anyone or groups. it is such an amazing setting and the owners are very welcoming and friendly

Très agréablement surprise. La description ne correspond aucunement à l'hébergement décrit sur le site (ou alors je n'ai vraiment rien compris), mais pour une fois, en mieux ! Petit appartement avec salle de bains dans un conteneur très bien aménagé et aménagement sympa et lieux propres. Rien à redire, je recommande
